Daily Camera unveils new website design

On Wednesday morning, the Daily Camera will launch its newly redesigned website at dailycamera.com -- and we're hoping you'll like it.

We are repackaging our award-winning news, features, sports, photo and video coverage and, in some ways, we'll be beefing it up a bit.

This new design -- check out a sneak peek of the front page-- is the result of months and months of work by web experts and designers, journalists, artists and others at several newspapers from within our parent company Digital First Media.

It's much cleaner, offers improved navigation and faster load time, while providing some new features such as regular reader polls, creative opportunities for our advertisers, and a revamped media center that ensures for better presentation and viewing experience of our wonderful local photography.

The changes are expected to begin unfolding around 8 a.m. Wednesday.

As with any new website rollout, yes, we anticipate there could be a few hiccups. We ask that you bear with us as we work to resolve those as quickly as possible.

As you explore, experience and become accustomed to this new site design, I'm confident you will come to find it a significant improvement.

We'll also continue to look for new opportunities to provide even more and better news, features and sports coverage in our communities.
